Music Video of the Day: Take Me To Hell by Chloe Adams (2024, dir by Dan Erman)


This is not a Halloween song per se but it still feels appropriate for the season. Chloe sings that she’d rather go to Hell and have fun than go to Heaven and be bored.  It sounds like someone just took a class on Paradise Lost.

“This is my job!”

I remember I saw a play in college where Hell was represented by lighting filters that were as red as my glorious hair.  Unfortunately, someone screwed up and even the scenes that weren’t taking place in Hell were tinted red.  Afterwards, I told the film’s cast, “You all were in Hell the entire time!” and they thought I was just referring to how much they disliked appearing in the play.

Anyway, where was I?  It’s late.  I’m rambling.

Enjoy!

Horror Song of the Day: Something Wicked This Way Comes by Barry Adamson


Today’s song of the day is Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Barry Adamson.

This instrumental work appeared on the soundtrack for David Lynch’s 1997 film, Lost Highway, and its one of my favorite pieces of music.  It’s amongst the songs that I tend to play whenever I’m dealing with writer’s block or if I just need an extra boost of energy to finish up a project.  This song also seems like the perfect way to kick off the second half of October and our annual horrorthon!

I also have to say that the video below, which was put together by Jessie Essex, is amazingly cool.

 

Music Video of the Day: Apology by Dana Dentata (2024, dir by Kathleen Dycacio)


This video definitely has a decadent Halloween sort of feel to it.  One gets the feeling that it’s actually about an ancient pagan priestess come back to life, to the appreciation of her adoring fans.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: California Rain by Syamali (2024, dir by ????)


Technically, this isn’t a Halloween or a horror video, unless you live in California and you really hate the rain.  But the foggy imagery and the deserted streets and the nighttime cinematography are definitely appropriate for the season.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Ed Wood by Howard Shore


Today is the 100th birthday of the pioneering indie director, Edward D. Wood, Jr!

Today’s song of the day is the theme from Tim Burton’s 1994 biopic of the director.  In my opinion, this remains Burton’s first film.  Burton also directed the musical video below while the great Toni Basil choreographed.  And, best of all, the dancer is named Lisa Marie!

Happy birthday, Ed, wherever you may be.

Music Video of the Day: Time Has Come Today by The Ramones (1983, dir by Francis Delia)


In today’s music video of the day, we visit the Church of the Ramones, where the band is energizing the congregation with a cover of The Chambers Brothers’s Time Has Come Today.

And indeed the time has come.  It’s the last day of September.  That means that tomorrow is the start of my favorite time of the year.  It’s time for our annual …. HORRORTHON!  Things are about to get a little bit busy around here….

Until then …. ENJOY!
